To mark the 35th anniversary of the Asics Gel-Lyte III, along with the retirement of the shoe’s designer, Shigeyuki Mitsui, the brand released this special edition pair earlier this summer. Dressed in hairy suede in bold tones of orange and bright blue, these feature coral graphics throughout (as the pronunciation of the Japanese word for coral sharing similarities to the numbers 3 & 5). Watch my review for a detailed breakdown and on feet look!
